Not an engine expert, but don't engines require a warm up time before you apply take off thrust ?

Might save on fuel but what about the impact on reliability and maintenance ?

Also it will be a pain to taxi out to the engine start point only to find out then after start you have a problem that needs you to go back to stand.
